Memorial Church

"The docents we've dealt with here are horribly unwelcoming, unfriendly, and rude. The night before they closed the site in our face at 4:30after being told by a dozen at the Jamestown settlement that they are open until 5 pm. Unapologetic, unsympathetic, disinterested. The next day I tried to go to the Heritage Church and ask about a service. The Wikipedia article says that The church is active, and it is presented on Google maps as an active Church. When I asked the docent if the church had an active service she acted as if I was trying to breach church and state or something. She offered no information about it or where I might find one or why I might think that there was a church there with an active service instead of acting like I'm an idiot for thinking that I mean active church service on a federal site."

"Historic church- the area is undergoing archaeological discovery revealing a larger community around the original structure."

"It’s amazing to see a completely reconstructed building on the Jamestown site. It really helps pull the rest of the site together and having the Timelapse video play on the TV inside was great to watch as well. Instead of just having to use your own imagination, you feel like you are actually at a settlement."

"The atmosphere feels gentle here. It's a great place for a casual stroll. The grounds are very large and there's something to see at every stop. Besides what little has been preserved and or dug up there's not much original pieces here. Mostly all reconstructions. But, it's still worth the time out to walk and enjoy Virginia's first official settlement."

"When I visited this they were excavating underneath the floor boards where the man that was knighted had been located. If you look around the structure you might have noticed some emblems, one of which had the Knights Garter, and some attributes to the time period in antiquity. Certainly one of the oldest buildings still standing in the Americas."
